The latest brouhaha over Samajwadi Party's annual gala at Saifai,
not only is sending bad signals to the people, but, it also throws light on the
praters--the blabbers--and the custodian of Democracy.
If anyone earns wealth, he obviously opts for lavish life, not
engages oneself in charity works, and if there are such people who opt the
other way, they are very few. I have heard, and have seen laconically, people
going on a business tour out of their country for a week or two with or without
their families; have seen the rich people throwing Lucullan parties to celebrate even their petty successes. Then what is wrong on in SP's MLA's going on a junket?, and rummy about Samajwadi party's grand event? They are humans from our own
society. They know how to enjoy and enjoy up to the hilt. And they also know
the socialism and social statuses, for; they claim the founding principle of
their party on Socialism.
So, what if Muzaffernager is burning, Safai by the way is glittering, and hence, it is a balance act.If a district is feeling the apathy of governance and the state is
reeling under administrative crisis, what is wrong in it? States have reeled
under such crises and will still reel under similar crisis. As, it is the
side-effect of this type of governance--the Democracy, that despite their non-performance, the governments come back to govern on false promises and some mouth watering proposals.
Right from day one, the performance of the current government in
Uttar Pradesh has been nil, and will remain nil, till it is thrown out of the
office by the same people, who gave them the reins of the state: license to mis-use the public funds; permit to go reckless on responsibilities. After all, the
voters were wooed by the lollipop of laptops than of good governance. They have
distributed some laptops to quieten the critiques. But, by the current trend and
seriousness shown towards good governance; the neophyte Chief Minister
will hardly deliver on any front apart from such gala events, as such type of events give them the requisite veil, not only to conceal the failure of the government, but, to shift the subject of attention also.
It was a hard earned and unexpected victory for them in the last
elections; and time is expecting again, to deliver the identical results in the coming
elections--full of awe and ire. Apart from these, let them enjoy; have lavish parties;
neglect their primary responsibilities. For, they have recently been absolved
of the alleged sins of corruption and ill-gotten wealth in a bizarre verdict by
the honourable court that after becoming Chief Minister, their relatives started
pumping money into their accounts, so that they can enjoy the comforts of life.
And a caution to the media: don't teach your grandmother how to
suck eggs. They are socialists and they honour democracy by mouth, not by heart
or their deeds. And, if Mulayam Singh yadav would have been CM, the things would have
been perceived differently. But, Akhilesh Yadav-- his son--does not have the
freedom and guts to say anything to his dad on governance and socialism, even
if, he is more educated than the patriarch of Samajwadi Party. Otherwise, he
may get a rebuke with the famous but scathing idiom... Don't teach your
Father...
